CD Reviews

Two 1970s "Soul Essentials" now on one CD.

Justo Roteta | Los Angeles, California United States | 10/16/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"These two albums were unquestionably "essential" for any real or serious R&B or Soul fan when originally released in 1977 and 1978 --so it's good to have them available on one CD today. Teddy Pendergrass was one of the 1970s most important and influential male R&B vocalists and he became a solo superstar in his own right thanks to such hits as "I Don't Love You Anymore", "The Whole Town's Laughing At Me", "You Can't Hide From Yourself", "Close The Door" and "When Somebody Loves You Back". While these two masterpieces have been available separately here in the U.S. for many years now this U.K. import CD offers you the two albums on one disc PLUS much better sound quality."
